Lakers, << I believe Clark is way over that level:-) >> No question about that. That is exactly why I recommended the Holma/Toskala book. I have not found anything on the web that really drills down enough on the technical detail of WCDMA to examine it closely, compare it to MC, or that is relatively current and up to date. The book focuses primarily on FDD and devotes the better part of 200 pages to it, but it also discusses the evolution of the 3GPP standard, the overall architecture of UMTS, and the last two chapters are devoted to a comparative examination of TDD and MC. The book assumes technical knowledge of wireless telephony but it is written in such a manner that even a lightweight like myself can get some value out of it, so you don't try to put something over on me. <g> Clark made the very valid point (in re the 3GPP WCDMA standard) that "it would have been at least a two week project to find the important pieces". and the value of the book lies in the fact that the "important pieces" are isolated, and organized, and there is useful commentary on important elements of the standard. I'd most certainly be willing to cough up another $85 (well $55 in my case) for a comparable treatment of the cdma2000 standards components. - Eric -
